Download or read book Algo habla con mi voz written by Vaitiere Alejandra, Rojas Manrique and published by Universidad Central. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Cómo sobrevive en Bogotá una migrante venezolana asediada por la depresión y la voz de la locura, que tiene un matrimonio resquebrajado y una niña que le seca las lágrimas, y cuya única fuente de fraternidad es la literatura? Escribe. Escribe cartas a su amigo F., en las que vierte sus ansias de habitar en las palabras, sus sueños de nefelibata, sus poemas, “relleno de papeleras” y “mariqueras suyas”, como ella llama a sus escritos. Y en estas cartas también le cuenta lo que significa salir de un país sin lugar para ella y llegar a otro en el que su nacionalidad anula su individualidad. El relato ganador del Concurso de Novela Universidad Central 2019 ilumina el vórtice de un drama social de carácter transnacional y un problema de salud pública desde la profunda intimidad de una narración en primera persona que fluye audaz y auténticamente entre la prosa epistolar y el verso libre, entre el pasado y el presente, en últimas, entre la conciencia y el abismo de aquello que se apodera de su voz.
Download or read book Bilingualism and Identity written by Mercedes Niño-Murcia and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2008-04-02 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociolinguists have been pursuing connections between language and identity for several decades. But how are language and identity related in bilingualism and multilingualism? Mobilizing the most current methodology, this collection presents new research on language identity and bilingualism in three regions where Spanish coexists with other languages. The cases are Spanish-English contact in the United States, Spanish-indigenous language contact in Latin America, and Spanish-regional language contact in Spain. This is the first comparativist book to examine language and identity construction among bi- or multilingual speakers while keeping one of the languages constant. The sociolinguistic standing of Spanish varies among the three regions depending whether or not it is a language of prestige. Comparisons therefore afford a strong constructivist perspective on how linguistic ideologies affect bi/multilingual identity formation.
Download or read book Habla Espa Ol ya written by Bertha Estela Loya and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hi, my name is Bertha Estela and my passion is teaching. I hold a BA from the BUAP in the teaching of English,and a Masters in the teaching of Spanish as a 2nd.language, from the University of the Americas, Puebla. I have been teaching English at all levels, from Basic, all the way to the preparation for the TOEFL for over forty years, at different places, such as: The American School in Puebla, the University of the Americas; and the BUAP, and, of course at - English/Español Training Center, Consequently, I ended up opening a bilingual school to teach both languages. On doing this, I realized that none of the books that were in the market at that time - drilled the Know How of the structures that do not transfer from one language to the other Therefore , I wrote my own five-level Series Español Fácil, Editorial Trillas, which has been a real hit and another series of five books "Let's Walk the Walk" which were only for internal use at E.T.C, my school. But now, being retired, and terribly excited with the option of buying books online, I have written two workbooks that cover the above mentioned structures in depth. I am positive that they will prove to be an excellent source to clarify structures and drills to help students understand and master the pitfalls that any foreign student learning my wonderful language - Spanish, will have to surpass. Trust my word and, if you have any doubt, contact me at [email protected] without any cost. I will be delighted to help you out.
Download or read book IntraLatino Language and Identity written by Kim Potowski and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-12-16 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing diversity of the U.S. Latino population has given rise to a growing population of “mixed” Latinos. This is a study of such individuals raised in Chicago, Illinois who have one Mexican parent and one Puerto Rican parent, most of whom call themselves “MexiRicans.” Given that these two varieties of Spanish exhibit highly salient differences, these speakers can be said to experience intrafamilial dialect contact. The book first explores the lexicon, discourse marker use, and phonological features among two generations of over 70 MexiRican speakers, finding several connections to parental dialect, neighborhood demographics, and family dynamics. Drawing from critical mixed race theory, it then examines MexiRicans’ narratives about their ethnic identity, including the role of Spanish features in the ways in which they are accepted or challenged by monoethnic, monodialectal Mexicans and Puerto Ricans both in Chicago and abroad. These findings contribute to our understandings of dialect contact, U.S. Spanish, and the role of language in ethnic identity.

Download or read book The Peer Effect Non Traditional Models of Instruction in Spanish as a Heritage Language written by Lina M. Reznicek-Parrado and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Peer Effect: Non-Traditional Models of Instruction in Spanish as a Heritage Language guides an important pedagogical conversation on the relevance of heritage language and literacy practices as resources for instruction, framing heritage teaching and learning as a social justice issue. Presenting ethnographic and discourse analyses of a heritage peer tutoring program at a university in California, this book focuses on the ways in which the dynamic translanguaging practices that Spanish heritage language (SHL) peer tutors mobilize in a non-classroom, student-led, collaborative academic space directly respond to the literacy demands of academic language development. Based on the in-depth analysis of peer tutors’ translingual practices, the book advances scholarship in SHL pedagogy, providing concrete classroom-based examples, techniques, and activities that nurture equitable pedagogies for heritage student belonging, while challenging the deficit discourse that has traditionally governed the dialogue around literacy instruction for multilingual students. This versatile volume is designed for educators, researchers, practitioners, and students in the fields of heritage language pedagogy, bilingual education, educational linguistics, and literacy studies for multilingual students.
